Support for Veterans with Cognitive Disorders: New Pilot Program

This act introduces a pilot program for veterans with cognitive disorders, such as dementia or brain injury effects. The program aims to provide innovative services, including telehealth and caregiver training, to slow the progression of these conditions and improve veterans' quality of life, often in their own homes.
Key points
Veterans with cognitive disorders may access new services like telehealth and virtual caregiver training to slow disease progression.
Services will be available outside hospitals, often in veterans' homes, increasing comfort and accessibility of care.
The pilot program will run for five years, serving up to 500 veterans at a time, regardless of age or existing risk factors.
Veterans can choose their service provider from an approved list, giving them more control over their care.
